Biologists can be artists too. For over 25 years I’ve been exploring ways to interpret the landscape through the twin perspectives of dance and photography. Technically speaking, my work ranges from high resolution B&W prints to moderately photoshopped digital images. I especially like the way that somewhat diffuse images tend to “pop” at just the right viewing distance for the print, much like many watercolor paintings do. Considering the advent of aerial dancing with Cirque du Soleil and the opening ceremonies of the Beijing Olympics, and the passing of Merce Cunningham, an icon for testing limits, I’m wondering where the next exciting new forms of dance will emerge. (All of the dance images were made in the landscape- not cut and pasted.)
